In 1966, the University’s Board of Trustees integrated all of Emory’s health components into the Robert W. Woodruff Health Sciences Center. The Woodruff Health Sciences Center joins those components of Emory University concerned with patient care, education of health professionals, research affecting health and illness, and policies for prevention and treatment of disease. Its components include the following: Emory Healthcare, Emory University School of Medicine, Nell Hodson Woodruff School of Nursing, Rollins School of Public Health, Winship Cancer Institute, Emory National Primate Research Center, Emory Global Health Institute, Office of Well-Being (EMWELL), Emory Global Diabetes Research Center, Interprofessional and Collaborative Practice (IPECP), Emory Brain Health Center, and Emory Empathetic AI for Health Institute (AI Health).

Emory University is one of the most collaborative, robust, talented, and successful research institutions in the nation. Researchers at Emory University achieved a new funding milestone of $1.065 billion during FY2023. This extraordinary achievement breaks the institution’s previous record of $944.5 million last fiscal year and represents our first year exceeding $1 billion. This research has an impact, saves and improves lives, and transforms the ways in which we prevent, detect, and treat disease.
